Space Environment and Evaluation of Typical High Altitude Satellite

The space environment consists mainly of high-energy charged particles, such as protons, electrons and heavy ions. They are originating from several sources including galactic cosmic radiation, solar flares and van Allen belts. High energy electromagnetic radiation and neutrons have also been measured on spacecraft. Although shielding can reduce the effect of space radiation it cannot be elimin...

Space Medicine in Canada

Space medicine is a unique field of medicine applying a broad understanding of medicine to the extreme environment of space. Physicians involved in space medicine play a pivotal role in understanding the effects of space flight on humans as well as mitigating problems associated with space flight, and managing any health effects that might develop on a mission (1). In addition to the many physi...

Orbital Space Environment and Space Situational Awareness Domain Ontology

As the population of satellites and other orbital objects in the space environment increases, the potential for collisions and orbital debris formation does as well. Existing sensors observe much of the night sky, gathering various sorts of data, but no space actor has full coverage of the orbital space environment. Although some nations have data-sharing agreements, not all exchanged data is r...
